Welcome to the Bat Lab
Welcome, you brave, or perhaps severely mistaken, individual. So, you've decided to dedicate your academic life to bats. Excellent choice. Only slightly less stable than choosing professional jenga. This module will guide you through the glorious, guano-scented halls of research, where you'll learn to handle bats, communicate with your PI, and question all your life choices. Don't worry, it's mostly harmless. Probably. Go ahead, sign your soul away and click the button to proceed. There's no turning back now.
Identify Yourself
Okay, here are your 'absolutely essential' instructions for accessing this thrilling lab: First, ensure your brain is somewhat attached. Second, you'll need a password. You must summon the mystical word: chiroptera (or maybe rousettus if you're feeling fancy). Memorize it, tattoo it on your forehead, just don't forget it, or you'll be stuck in this digital purgatory forever.
Wrong. Are you even trying? Try 'chiroptera'.
Who holds the ancient wisdom?
Select the expert explaining "BAT TRANSPORT LOGIC". Avoid the one eating a banana or daydreaming about lunch. Choosing poorly leads to catastrophic bat-carrying faux pas.
The Net Selector
Click the "right net." Probably the one that doesn't smell like regret or existential dread.
Capture Mission
Capture 5 moving bats before funding runs out. Static bats are just cave art. Hurry, we have a low supply of replacements!
Disaster: Lost Bat
You've misplaced a specimen. Locate it immediately or face the PI's wrath.
Someone will find it eventually (hopefully)...
"Scientific" Analysis
Your analytical skills are... let's be kind and say "unorthodox." You clearly require intervention. Admit defeat and immediately proceed to consult your PI. Your data is currently a disaster waiting to be laughed at by the committee.
Consult Your PI βοΈWhere is the PI?
Pinpoint the PI's current location. They could be anywhere: on sabbatical, at a conference, or perhaps just a collective hallucination. You have 4 attempts.
